The guy auditions with a song he wrote the day before, at the request of one of the judges, doesn't get a chance to play the song he prepared - and goes through to Hollywood. That's some talent.
You think that wasn't scripted? Nothing about this show is real. I was in NYC when they came through years ago on one of those "going home" weekends, and they just found a crowd, handed out signs that looked hand made to random people, and made it look like they had a ton of fans show up. It's all fake.
IKR?!? HE got along with them as if they were just (excuse the Mr. Rogers), people from his neighborhood. Some have an ego and think they are better than the stars, some get nervous, and a little star struck, he just was like he was talking to some people he just met at a bar on karaoke night. LOL I really did like that song, I like the hook or chorus or whatever it was. I would love to know what else he has.

@@brianrich7828 as I just googled, some may say yes. I live in a country where people didn't wear casual clothes (t shirt, pants, loafers, sneakers...) 100 years ago so my take is a yes too.
This guys going places, literally... You could tell the judges were genuinely impressed with his initiative in setting up his bus, nice of them to include it.😅
@@koof1776….what? Who cares man. Im as masculine as any guy….General Contractor, biker, married, raised two sons, built a business, built our home…..and this dude was who HE was. Why people need to constantly put something on it? I didnt see any immoral, negative, or bad thing in him.
@@koof1776 Masculinity? He was being himself. I didn't see any kind of act. Sure he wasn't the most deep voiced dude, but he wasn't putting anything on. He was clearly happy with himself, probably more so that 99 % of the rest of us, and 100% more than you I'll bet.
This youngster is UNIQUE! At the AGE Of 22 TO CREATE THAT ALL- IN - ONE BUS !! He’s a genius a God given gift !!! Write a song yesterday and sing it in front of the best panel of judges in the world today, don’t you think, IS UNIQUE?
"best panel of judges in the world today" is a bit much. Have you seen every other talent show panel from around the world to be able to make such a categorical comment? No. Then don't get carried away. The "God given gift" is fantasy crap, the talent totally belongs to him, it is not granted by any mythical entity.
What a young genious he is!! Living in his bus, looks ace!!! I'm sure he'll do well in the future after the Americas got Talent gang saw his bus a fab voice!!!
this dude deserve all he wishes for, please world don't change that soul, forever be you man... you are a beautiful soul, the world needs more of you brother..
This guy is so awesome! Weird, quirky, smart, talented, odd, intelligent, creative, comfortably calm and confident in who he is. Whenever I meet somebody like him, which is rare, I'm always intrigued and inspired.
It’s heartwarming to notice how the 3-judges appreciates the zeal of this young fellow and kind of jealous of what he had put-up at such a young age. Way to go people!
How refreshing it is to know that people like CJ still exist in this day and age. I mean come on His story is exemplary in so many ways. Like his goal setting/planing, dedication/work ethic (only took him 3 years to acquire the bus), thoughtfulness level A+ for making cookies, humble as can be, play`s multiple musical instruments, skilled at songwriting , has a unique voice, and he totality owns his off beat quirkiness. Hope to see You and the Jazz Wagon on the road!
Simply, AMAZING. my god man his talent is amazing. The voice, the style and those song writing talents. Man I would straight up buy his first album right now with this song on it.
He had grit and determination at 14 to start saving with his first 5 dollars to buy a school bus which he did at 17. That is passion, patience and single-minded focus rarely seen in someone so young. I hope he goes far. Literally
On to bigger and better things. Wonderful natural talent. Excellent songwriter. I'm sure he has a lot of deals in his pocket right now. To all the folks out there, his song is now completed. It is on TH-cam
I think his voice does sound like Elton John. Very cool!! Ha I LOVED how excited the judges all were to see his bus/home on wheels!! Very cool of them!! And an awesome comment from Luke Bryan.
Interesting huh.. well the...! Man does NOT know how GREAT he is! I could listen to an Album because the lyrics was of substance! CJ Risk Love, yow I now feel jazzed mannn great voice!
He is so Awesome! Oh my Goodness he has a God Given Gift ! Very Smart and he has his head on straight. I pray that you will allow God to take you all the way up ! God Bless You Young Man !!!❤🩷❤❤💜❤❤❤❤🩷💜❤❤❤💜
This has to be the best I’ve seen, the enthusiasm from everyone was just amazing, I’m smiling from ear to ear. ❤❤❤ A fine example of how to be at one with oneself. Total free spirited, just love. ❤
Reminds me of Dean Ray when he auditioned on X Factor Australia, natural, relaxed, pure talent, experienced, just chilling out and boom! What a singer/performer! Very similar story to Dean´s.
I had a huge smile from start to finish! The guy is unique, he's got style, discipline and a singing voice that doesn't match his talking at all! It's so much more deep that I expected and I loved it. Katy made the right choice by asking him to sing this one

That was EPIC. The attitude. The songwriting. The bus. The person. Whew. Blown away.

Authentic, Awesome...Old Soul...Talented...Rocket Man for sure. Love it!
Love this dudes vibe and voice.
he's got the 70's look! Peace and Love. Like his music
Yes, it was historic and his founding story they helped him launch from. Old soul def such cool guy. Genuine.
"A Real artist". He made his mind from early age about what he is going to do. Good luck for his already bright future.
I really like him. He's one of a kind in all arenas of life. I like his voice: mellow.
And as for masculinity you like? Lmao

Love how the American Idol brings out the best talent on the planet.

One of the most beautiful souls you'll ever meet💚
Such a talent wrapped up in humility...so refreshing!
this dude deserve all he wishes for, please world don't change that soul, forever be you man... you are a beautiful soul, the world needs more of you brother..
Every year, the auditions get better and better. I don't know how they do it.
Yet the males get more and more feminine, sad days indeed~
Compared to who, koof? Elton John, Steven Tyler, maybe the whole band Queen? I mean, are you comparing apples to apples here?@@koof1776
It's all in the script
It’s because America has a deep pool of untapped vocal talent yet to be discovered…
These three hosts are just so cool . i mean i dont care about thier fame. I love thier personality.. They would just be super fun to hang out with
Could not agree more. I love each personality and they compliment each other sooooo well.
Yeah u hit it
Lionel is so nice and thoughtful, I really appreciate his candid attitude
My favourite audition this year . Love from Australia ❤
He's really cool, such an original talented gifted dude
Credit to this guy. To pull this off was incredible. Wrote the song yesterday!!! What on earth! That's talent!
An artist who has talent + principles + patient is a formidable one.
The best TEAM OF JUDGES in any talent show! Definitely better than the current BGT panel.
Hats off to you all the way from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰!
Somebody better sign that dude before he gets away
Well, American Idol owns him now lol
This guy is so awesome! Weird, quirky, smart, talented, odd, intelligent, creative, comfortably calm and confident in who he is. Whenever I meet somebody like him, which is rare, I'm always intrigued and inspired.
The Reaction of the Judges shows what they are all really miss in their lives...This young Lad is richer than he thinks. Well done Sir.
Very cool and talented young man. A throwback from the 70s best generation for music.
OK, THIS is the coolest Idol clip I have ever seen, too awesome!!!!!! All the best CJ Rislove!!!!! You get a YES from me!
Just what Idol needs. Genuine, geeky but super talented. He has put in his miles and now hopefully will reap the benefits.
WEW. 22:03:2024. This is the WARMEST kindest most wonderful audition I have ever seen. Love it.
A true Artist! I've been waiting for another Elton John vibe to come along.
Very talented!! He'll go places!!❤❤
"I guess you're going to Hollywood in this van" 😂
What’s the name of the guy ?

He’s a diamond in the rough (or should I say ‘bus’)!! Love his quirkiness & so talented. 🙌
He had grit and determination at 14 to start saving with his first 5 dollars to buy a school bus which he did at 17. That is passion, patience and single-minded focus rarely seen in someone so young. I hope he goes far. Literally
I grew up in the late 60's-70's and this young man has got it...
She didn't say he sounded like Elton John. She commented that he writes lyrics/songs like Elton John, Billy Joel.
He is so cool!!! Interesting voice,amazing song writing 🎉❤
I am very happy you found this guy! A VERY talented guy!
I happy for you sir !
I really like this guy. He's so down to earth that he doesn't even know how good he is. Gonna be fun to watch him progress!

Oh man! I want to hear more of his singing!
I absolutely loved his song.He is amazing he's fresh and exciting and new and smart intelligent and handsome❤
He looks a lot like Julia Roberts.
That's who I though it was...! 🥰
😂😂😂😂
Too funny
I’m leaning towards more of a young and slimmer (and taller) James Spader.
His smile especially. I was thinking he looks like a cross between Julia Roberts and Jennifer Garner.
Positive waves beaming his way !
Oh young fella, you're incredible. Talent haven't seen before ❤
He’s a RockStar!!✨✨✨
Wow. Super talented!
Love the judges all supporting ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great voice , creative and adventurous. Clear soul within. I loved him.

He's gonna go places. He's amazing and a unique voice❤
This young man is a genius.
love this guy. so humble.
I want this release, that song needs to be on Apple and Amazon - we need it.
What a great audition. Lionel Ritchie, what a nice guy. Saw him in concert when I was younger.
That song must be completed at all cost!
Absolutely LOVE this guy. Rooting for him.
so talented! and so handsome. and what a smile! Wishing all the best for his journey on Idol.

Great guy and great judges. People who judge talent AND people! Well done!
Ok he's now my favorite singer! He does sounds like Elton John my favorite artist!
I bet he will be a super star
Absolutely loved this, that kid's got talent, and as a lyricist, just fantastic.
Reminds me of Dean Ray when he auditioned on X Factor Australia, natural, relaxed, pure talent, experienced, just chilling out and boom! What a singer/performer! Very similar story to Dean´s.
I love Lionel Richie's reactions, he knows he enjoys the good things in life. With Perry and Bryan he forms a great team.
What an amazing character with so much talent!
It's his great voice & techniques that really brought out the song 👏
What a super kool guy, great voice, raw talent...Nice. Best of luckon your journey bro xx
I love him, ♥️but he also looks like Julia Roberts, when he’s smiling ♥️😊
This is my favourite audition by far. This guy is a diamond in the rough and he is just so humble and doesn't know how talented he REALLY is.
Guys got talent and legit skills, don’t find that much anymore, good for him, wish him the very best
I had a huge smile from start to finish! The guy is unique, he's got style, discipline and a singing voice that doesn't match his talking at all! It's so much more deep that I expected and I loved it. Katy made the right choice by asking him to sing this one
This guy has got talent, and he knows just what he wants and
goes for it! At only 22! I like him! I see him going very far!
to me thats a real artist, great attitude, great song, and really really cool as a person, and he made cookies!! love it!!😃
